Staff turnover is one of the most expensive, least talked about line items on a hotel P&L, and one of the simplest fixes hiding in plain sight is how your staff actually gets tipped.
What They Do
eTip is a digital tipping and gratuity management platform built specifically for hospitality, giving staff a fast, cashless way to receive tips instead of relying on inconsistent cash gratuities. It handles distribution and payouts automatically, so tips reach staff quickly and reliably instead of getting lost in end of shift cash counts.
Who It’s Built For
eTip is built for hotels and hospitality operators who want to boost frontline staff earnings and retention without adding administrative burden to management.
Standout Feature or Stat
Properties using eTip have seen staff earnings increase by roughly $4.50 an hour, alongside a 60% improvement in staff retention.
Why It’s Worth a Look
Having managed teams across 18-plus properties, I’ve watched good staff walk for a dollar or two an hour somewhere else, often before management even knew they were looking. A retention lift like this isn’t a nice perk, it’s a direct hit to recruiting and training costs, which quietly eat more margin than most GMs realize until they actually run the numbers.
